An investigation by Los Angeles FBI agents and Chinese security officers has resulted in 25 arrests in China and the seizure of more than $500 million worth of counterfeit computer software, officials said today. Code-named “Summer Solstice,” the operation began in 2005 and has resulted in the seizure of more than 290,000 counterfeit Microsoft and Symantec software CDs in China, as wells as bogus certificates of authenticity, said Laura Eimiller of the Los Angeles FBI office. Agents with the FBI’s Los Angeles office executed two dozen warrants in the Southland that yielded about $2 million in counterfeit software and the seizure of assets worth more than $700,000, Eimiller said. There have not been any arrests in Los Angeles, but the investigation is continuing, Eimiller said. Investigators identified criminal organizations responsible for manufacturing and distributing counterfeit software in China and also identified distributors in the United States, Eimiller said. Most of the distributors were recruited via the Internet, she said. FBI agents assigned to Los Angeles and the FBI’s legal attache office in Beijing were involved in the investigation. “The growing crime involving the theft of copyrighted material does not end at U.S. borders, but affects the global economy,” said J. Stephen tidwell, assistant director in charge of the FBI Los Angeles office. “The buying and selling of counterfeit goods amounts to stealing the ideas of others and is no different than common theft, where the consequences of getting caught include going to jail and other serious penalties.” For the latest news and observations on crime in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, check out the Daily News’ crime blog by clicking here.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

Arsenal made it two wins from two on their pre-season tour of the United States as Eddie Nketiah grabbed a late winner during a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich.After a goalless first half, Unai Emery’s side took the lead four minutes after the restart when Louis Poznanski turned Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s cross into his own net before Robert Lewandowski equalised with a superb header. Arsenal were donning their new away kit for the first time Mesut Ozil, donning a new blonde hairstyle, forced Manuel Neuer into a good stop at the other end as the first half produced few clearcut chances.The Gunners took the lead through Poznanski’s own goal but needed a hand from the onrushing Leno to deny former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry in his first match against the Gunners since leaving the north London club in 2016.

“We will work hard this week, we have a good week to prepare for the game and everybody is looking forward to it.” Some pressure descended on McLeish and his players following the dismal display against Israel. That sense doom and gloom has increased as the number of call-offs this week have increased, including Shinnie’s Pittodrie team Mikey Devlin, who was replaced by Celtic’s Jack Hendry after withdrawing through a knee injury. On-form Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn is the latest withdrawal after pulling out with a calf-injury on Thursday.However, Shinnie believes the Scotland squad has the character to come through. He said: “Football is always pressure. There is pressure in many different ways and if you are a player and can’t deal with that then you probably shouldn’t be in football. “We know that everyone in the squad can handle it, they prove it a club level and it is about going out and proving it on the day. “It obviously wasn’t a great night (in Israel) and the performance wasn’t what we wanted it to be. “We lose the game and there is always going to be criticism, I have experienced that at club football, that’s just what happens. But it is in our hands now and it us up to us to go and turn it around. “These two games are massive for us and if we can win both of them you will get the plaudits so you take the good and the bad. “We obviously had the game here against Albania (2-0 win) and it will be tougher away. “Israel got beat over there but if we can play to our full potential we know it is a game we can go and win. “So it is a game the whole squad is looking forward to and we will try to turn things around from the last result.” Aberdeen captain Graeme Shinnie has stressed that the Scotland squad are every bit as keen as the Tartan Army to get to Euro 2020. The Scots have not qualified for the finals of a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup in France and a host of call-offs have hindered the manager’s plans for upcoming fixtures.Alex McLeish’s side found a speed-bump to the next European Championships via the inaugural Nations League in their last Group C1 game in Haifa when they lost 2-1 to Israel to fall three points behind the section leaders.Scotland are preparing for the final double-header in Albania on Saturday night which comes before the visit of Israel next Tuesday and the 27-year-old midfielder insists qualification is just as important to the players. He said: “The squad is desperate to qualify like the whole nation is and yes, we know the importance of it and we are all determined to do that as a squad. “It is something that we are working hard for. “It is never easy as has been shown over the last few years, it is never an easy thing to do but we are but it is something that we are desperate to try to get. “It is obviously in our own hands so it is up to us to go out and do the business. read more
